4 What is the cost of life

Waking up naked with a splitting headache Chief would role onto his side. His body still numb from the drugs in his system. Chief looking around would find himself in a glass cylinder. Forcibly staggering to his feet through sheer force of will. He'd look through the glass and see the Conductor sending up Thor in a container of his own. Letting out a chuckle Chief would glare and say. "Finally lost your last marble huh, and to think that you'd be the traitor. Seems the Odyssey human alliance is finally Finished. Though it seems I have 1 last mission." The Conductor raising an eyebrow in curiosity and fascination. Would turn in the Chief direction and ask. "Oh and what mission will you leave unfinished?" However unaffected by the passive aggressive words Chief would puff his exposed muscular chest and resting his hands on his hips. He'd stand in a shameless wide triumph stance then respond confidently. "It's a suicide mission, but I have prepared to die from the day I joined the service." Turning up his chin in a cocky way as he looked down on Conductor then say. "Since you can't change the outcome I'll tell you. The mission is to eliminate the traitor." Letting out a psychotic laugh Conductor would lean in closer to the glass and respond. "I stripped you of your equipment. You don't have a hope of completing the mission. That glass your in is made from the silicate of the goddess finger nails. You can't brake out with just your bare hands. You pathetic old fool." The Chief would laught at Conductors mocking words and flex his well toned muscles as he'd say. "Has your Insanity made you forget who I am." The corners of Chief's lips would pull back into an unbreakable grin that be further enhanced by his beard. His tone becoming more excited as he would bellow out a laugh before reminding his silly friend who he is. "Here let me remind you old friend, I am Ezekiel King Martinez." Getting into a stance his eyes would be covered in shadow as he continued "The unstoppable warrior and the final Captain in the fight against the gods." Cocking his fist back he'd get a glint in his eye. In a booming voice and with a thunderous swing of his fist he'd proclaim. "I am The Chief!" Glass would burst out in all directions as Chief smashed through and grabbed the Conductor by the neck.

A feeling of fear came over Conductor as Chief did what he'd assumed to be impossible. Now barring down on the Conductor, Chief glared into the eyes of his old friend. Pure hatred would be all conductor could see as Chief's overbearing aura threatened to drown him. Chief would brake the Conductors neck and let his limp body collapse to the floor. Then letting out a hissing laugh Conductor would begin mocking Chief. "You fool actually scared me for a moment." -Cough wheeze- "You know I heal. You silly fool this is just a minor set back for you to escape." Chief wouldn't escape however. Instead crouching down so Conductor could better see him as Chief's aura continued to make him sweat in fear. Chief would them speak up in a menacing tone. "No old sport. I told you it was a suicide mission. I can't kill you with my physical strength and your immune to curses. However there is a way isn't there?" The chief would take a shard of glass and slit his wrist. Then in his own blood Chief would begin ritually drawing a curse around Conductor's motionless body.

Chief would finish then sit Infront of the Conductor then place a cigarette in his own mouth before saying. "What do you think a soul is worth? See nothing spent ever gave equal value to a human soul when practicing. Well nothing but another human soul. Haha and I don't know many curses myself but I do know one. The god of inventions used it to turn people into mythical relics. An unavoidable death that eats your soul as your slowly turned into a pile of junk. That will be your fate, so finish your goal in the few days you have left." Putting his cigarette out on the Conductor's forehead as horror made it's appearance on his face. Shouting despite the blood oozing out of his broken throat. "You would dare you bastard!!!" Chief collecting a bit of blood off his wrist would finish the curse right Infront of the Conductor's eyes. The circle would begin sucking out Chief's soul his body getting sunken as his life force slipped away. Then turning to dust Chief would flip him the middle finger and a grin as a final fuck you. After a few hours Conductor's neck would heal and he'd stand. Yet he stayed sitting with his eyes glued the the dusty remains of the Chief. "You crazy bastard actually did it, fuck. 3 week is all the time I got. Hmmm it's not enough time to make the rest of the crew into R.E.G units. I'll have to make them fully mechanical. I'll just finish the procedure on Thor. I won't have time to fully control and program his mind. I'll have to use a temporary device." Turning his head he'd pull a lever to call down Thor's cylinder.

A week has past and The Conductor had finished turning the crew into a bunch of robots immune to the affects of the Abyss. Standing on his right would be Reg a strange boy with his organic body acting as the core to his mechanical limbs. Then on his left would be a 6,5 humanoid cat like creature with white fur, a double set of ears and a massive 5 foot long tail that ends into a tuft of black fur. Similar to Reg with a organic base and mechanical limbs. However different with 4 arms and a more beastly pair of mechanic legs that were enhanced with a set of paw like claws for grasping and attacking. The Conductor would look at the formation of his creations and let out a sigh. "I guess this is as good as I can get it. Reg I don't know what monster will mutate down here so this will be your post." Then the conductor would begin the climb up.
